    We are members and been riding there for 20+ years. I still find trails I have never been down. The trails and tracks are the best they have ever been right now. It's well worth the trip!

    First time going to Durham town was 2003. Grew up in north Atlanta. Took my family of four many many times there. Even spent thanksgiving day with a great buffet for the dinner. Never gets old. Unbelievable place it is. Been there probably 20 / 30 times, love that place 😊

    I have just added this to my bucket list in life… To see your enthusiasm and joy as you cover just a tiny portion of the property brings me so much happiness. You are literally as giddy as a school kid in a candy store. And it is so awesome to see you so happy. And you're right… This place does seem like it must be an actual "heaven right here on earth"!!! Thank you so much for sharing this with us Ken and for your passion for the sport and locations of places to enjoy said sport!!!!! And as always… "God bless America"! 🇺🇸

    You should check out Highland MX Park as well, then when you head north, Windrock Off-road Park is 72,000 acres with trails for dirt bikes, SxS, Jeep, and even mountain bikes.

    Georgia must have some different insurance laws, because anywhere else today it would take big money to pay the liability insurance for such a huge place with so many ways and places to get hurt or worse. It's a miracle that it exists -- thanks for opening our eyes to this dirt bike disneyland, it's like going back in time!

    • @LastCall534
      @LastCall534 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      They were sued a few years ago. Kid was riding one of the tracks, crashed and hit the end of a culvert, cut his leg off if I remember correctly or it had to be amputated. Settled the lawsuit for around a million dollars. Bankrupted them at the time, didn't figure they'd ever reopen, but they brought in some investors or sold part ownership, can't remember. I don't think the kid had signed an insurance waiver.

    We have been going to Durhamtown since my son was 10 years old he is 26 now. Great place to camp and ride. Another great place to ride is Highland Park northwest of Atlanta not as flat as Durhamtown more mountainous geared more towards bikes. Both great places to spend a weekend.

    How did I miss this place?? I've rode a ton in Georgia. The riding in Georgia is one of my favorite places to run. Ride till the heat is killing you. Pull up to one of the many lakes, do some cliff diving. Get back on your bike nice and cool! Bottom of the smokies rock

    Well Kap I have some exciting ideas for the Kaplan America brand. Yes sir hear me out. I think we can introduce the Kaplan America action figurże . With long hair and fuzzy pork chops of course . Think our era GI Joe with the fuzzy head . Of course they would come in the 18" display models or 11" live action models. The mini replica dirt bikes . The Iconic CR 500 with realistic two stroke sound . For Halloween the kids or us adults could dress up like you . The cape the stick on fuzzy pork chops bandana. Hey they could sell them at the pro shop. There in MX Mecca.
